Agriculture Program

Special Program – Development (Agriculture)

Project/Program NameSpecial Program – Development (Agriculture)
Working AreaChugnagor, Kholiskhali, Magura, Tala
VisionTo pioneer a sustainable, climate-resilient agricultural future where rural farming communities are transformed into self-reliant hubs of economic prosperity. We envision an ecosystem driven by innovation, where our model agro-ecological farms serve as blueprints for environmental harmony, and our dedicated field demonstrations empower smallholder farmers with cutting-edge, organic, and smart farming practices. By bridging the gap between ecological preservation and high-yield productivity, we aspire to build a world where agriculture not only guarantees national food security and rich nutrition but also uplifts grassroots livelihoods, preserves biodiversity, and secures a dignified, profitable future for generations to come.
Mission/Objectives
  • Delivering comprehensive agricultural extension services
  • Conducting hands-on farmer demonstrations
  • Driving climate-resilient and smart farming adoption
  • Enhancing smallholder income and rural livelihoods
  • Ensuring food safety and nutritional security
  • Cultivating model agro-ecological farms
  • Preserving biodiversity and restoring soil health
ImpactOur initiative has successfully transformed the rural landscape by empowering smallholder farmers through hands-on demonstrations and sustainable tech transfer, leading to measurable increases in household incomes and crop yields. By establishing thriving model agro-ecological farms, we have accelerated the adoption of climate-resilient practices, restored vital soil health, and preserved local biodiversity. Ultimately, these diverse ground-level services have bridged the gap between ecological preservation and rural prosperity—ensuring long-term food safety, rich nutritional security, and self-reliant agribusiness networks for the community.
OutcomeThrough our model farms, practical demonstrations, and dedicated support services, we achieve a thriving ecosystem where farmers transition from vulnerable subsistence to climate-smart profitability, degraded soils are revitalized into highly productive and bio-diverse lands, and rural communities secure long-term food safety, economic dignity, and self-reliant futures.
OutputOur agro-ecological interventions, field demonstrations, and comprehensive support services yield a resilient farming network characterized by a substantial boost in smallholder household incomes, widespread adoption of climate-smart technologies, drastically improved soil fertility, and a reliable local supply of safe, nutrient-dense food.
Activities/Input
  • Establishing and maintaining model agro-ecological farms
  • Organizing hands-on field demonstrations and bootcamps for farmers
  • Distributing organic seeds, bio-fertilizers, and eco-friendly inputs
  • Providing technical training on climate-smart and precision farming
  • Deploying continuous on-the-ground extension and advisory services
  • Setting up community-led water management and soil-testing systems
  • Linking farmers directly to local and regional market networks

Successful Case Studies

1. Farmer Spotlight: Sohidul Islam Sordar

Location: Kumira, Tala, Satkhira  |  Land Size: 25 Decimals

The Challenge: For years, Sohidul struggled with traditional open-field vegetable cultivation. Heavy monsoon rainfall rotted tomato crops and washed away investments. Nearly 40% of the budget was spent on chemical pesticides, damaging soil health and leaving minimal profits.

Our Intervention: Through a hands-on demonstration at the model agro-ecological farm, support included a low-cost bamboo-framed polytunnel, stress-tolerant summer tomato seeds, and training on Trichoderma-enriched organic compost, yellow sticky traps, and micro-climate management.

Results: Pests were controlled organically with zero chemical sprays. Off-season premium tomatoes were sold at about three times the normal market rate. Net profit rose from around BDT 15,000 to BDT 40,000 in a single cycle, and the polytunnel cost was recovered within months. The farmer has since inspired 15 neighboring farmers to adopt polytunnel farming.

2. Farmer Spotlight: Shefali Rani Mondal

Location: Tala, Satkhira  |  Pond Size: 50 Decimals

The Challenge: Traditional low-yield prawn (Golda Chingri) farming with unregulated water quality, poor stocking density, and limited technical knowledge led to disease outbreaks, high mortality, and unsustainable production costs.

Our Intervention: Training on Good Aquaculture Practices (GAP), disease-free PCR-tested prawn post-larvae, high-efficiency feed, scientific pond preparation, bio-security, and daily DO/pH monitoring.

Results: Survival rate improved from about 45% to 85%. Feed conversion improved and production costs fell. Net seasonal profit increased from about BDT 60,000 to over BDT 1,50,000, with export-quality prawns commanding a premium price.
